The Crawfish apologizes to his loyal readers for having such a short column this week, and for having it contain only a couple of subjects. I didn’t do enough prep work over the weekend. Sorry.

Can it get any more obvious who the American media is supporting for the Presidential election? This week, Barack Obama goes on a “Senate Fact Finding” trip to Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, and Germany and the entire news media of America follows his every move. All three major non-cable networks send their top anchors to record his every movement and photo op. The other media outlets have all sent print reporters, photographers, videographers, and loads of sound technicians. Have they done so for any of McCain’s overseas trips? NO. Have they done so for any of President Bush’s overseas trips? NO.

On that bias subject, the Noo Yawk Slimes recently ran an op-ed piece by Obama (well, actually written by his keepers, but under his signature). They ran it word for word how the Obamessiah campaign wanted it. The McCain campaign sent in an op-ed essay of their own, but it got rejected. The editor said that it would get published if it was rewritten to conform to the Obama format, with timetables for leaving Iraq, a definition of victory, and other Democrat talking points. In other words, unless it is endorsing Obama’s positions, it will not get published.

The Slimes isn’t the only print outlet that can’t help itself in it’s bias. This year’s cover s of Newsweek and Time magazines show an interesting pattern. Newsweek’s cover s have featured McCain twice (2/11 and 2/18) and one of them was a negative story (“There Will Be Blood” 2/18). Hillary! was on the cover twice (1/21 and 3/17). Her Bitterness, Michelle Obamessiah, was featured on 2/25. The Obamessiah himself was featured 5 times (1/14, 3/31, 5/19, 6/2, and 7/21). Time was almost as bad. They have had His Majesty on the cover 3 times (3/10, 4/21, and 5/19), The Messiah and Her Thighness (wife of The Impeached One) together twice (2/18 and 5/5), and Hill The Chill once (3/17). McCain was only on the cover once (2/4). The Swamp’s intrepid reporter has been told that US News has a similar record, but can’t verify it through their website.

Obama’s foreign trip has also been orchestrated to make him look Presidential, as every photo op with foreign dignitaries has him in the guest of honor seat, with the other Senators along the periphery. Is it really a fact finding trip or is it a campaign trip in response to McCain pounding him on his naiveté on the issues? He opposed the “Surge” and has continually said that it has been a failure, yet the only reason he can go to Iraq right now and be secure is that the Surge has worked. The only reason that we MIGHT be able to pull our troops out within the next two or three years is that the Surge has been successful.

When he goes to Berlin, he is going to make a major campaign speech. Of course, he’s going there because the socialists in Germany adore him. Otherwise, there’s no reason for an American Presidential candidate to campaign in Germany. Does Angela Merkel campaign in Ireland? He originally wanted to make his speech at the Brandenburg Gate, but Merkel objected. Now his speech will be at the Victory Column, which was put in it’s present position and built to it’s current size by Albert Speer’s ministry under the direction of Adolf Hitler. Hmmm…..Obama’s connections to the Cult Of Personality that brought Hitler to power are coming into focus. Both support government control over all aspects of life. Hitler had his triumphant rallies at Nuremburg’s stadium. Obama is going to have his crowning moment at the Democratic National Convention not at the Pepsi Center Arena, where the rest of the convention is being held, but at Invesco Field at Mile High, so the crowd can top 70,000.
